Digital screening mammograms: current status and future prospects
Emerging technologies in digital screening mammography have demonstrated improvements in surrogate endpoints like cancer detection, however, their effect on clinically meaningful outcomes such as interval cancer and advanced cancer reduction remains unproven. To ensure that innovations translate into tangible patient benefit, future research should prioritize clinically relevant endpoints and real-world evaluation.
